Indeed this is not optimal yet.

Yes, translating the "common-rst" separate from user-guide and 
user-guide-admin (and other future RST guides) would be the better way 
forward but needs some scripting.

You need to enhance in openstack-doc-tools the file 
bin/doc-tools-check-languages and in openstack-manuals the file 
tools/generatepot-rst.sh.

If you like to tackle this, it would be appreciated and I'll give any 
help - just don't have time right now to work on this myself,

Feel free to ask any questions,

Andreas
